Come to Bethlehem

Christmas in Desert colors! I really like the soft look of this color combination: Baja Breeze and Crumb Cake.

The stamp set is Come to Bethlehem and is one of the sets on sale during the 10-day Holiday ExtravaganzaSale. Check the sale flyer here to see what might be on your wish list. Some of the items are 50% off, including this stamp set.

To get this look you'll be sponging on the color. So to avoid smearing the stamped image it should be heat embossed. Stazon ink is great when you are coloring with markers, but it won't stand up to a sponge. Oh, and I always cut my sponges into sections for easier handling.

And here's a tip, when I emboss in black I use Black Craft ink and Clear embossing powder. That avoids any little stray black speckles where the black powder landed on my project and didn't get brushed off.
